This is the new weblog for the Research MA Linguistics at Leiden University. All announcements etc. of this programme will come here.

Two weeks ago I have started working as the chair of the board of the Research MA programme. This means that from now
on, I will be responsible for organizing this programme; I have taken over this job from Maarten Mous, who has done it for the past 1,5 years.

I cannot do this alone. Fortunately, I can work together with Karin van der Zeeuw (k.van.der.zeeuw@hum.leidenuniv.nl),
who is temporarily replacing Grace Rowicka as the ‘ studiecoordinator’. Furthermore, the
board of the Research MA also has a student
member; Angela Kluge (angela_kluge@sil.org) has
accepted to take this role until the summer. But I also need your input and ideas about what you like here in Leiden and what could be changed, so please tell me!

Looking at the list of e-mail addresses, I can see that I have already met most of you in some class, I hope that I will be in touch with all of you. Please come to my office to meet me whenever you feel the need to. I will have office hours in my room (building 1166-205c) on Tuesdays from 9;30-11.00 (except next Tuesday, by the way), but you can mail me (marc.vanoostendorp@gmail.com) to make an appointment (preferably on Tuesdays or Fridays).
